Rockefeller disputing Nixon victory claim over 700 delegates
New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller says Nixon supporters claiming a 700 plus delegate lead are "whistling in the dark" and cites 500 to 550 as Nixon's likely tally. An AP survey lists Nixon at 542 first ballot votes and Rockefeller at 202 with Humphrey and McCarthy on the Democratic side also contending for delegates. Humphrey proposes dedicating July 4 1976 as a living urban monument while urging unit-rule delegates to vote their preference. McCarthy calls for overhauling federal funding to give local governments more discretion. Wallace says he is qualified to appear on the November ballot in all 50 states.
